Building safety

High rise buildings – helping you to feel safe

As a responsible landlord your safety has always been a priority for us. The Government led Building Safety Act 2022 provides reforms to give residents more -

  • rights
  • power
  • protections

so homes across the country are safer.

The Act states that every resident of a high rise building -

  • should be reassured that their building safety risk is being managed
  • can expect to be informed about the measures being taken to make their building safe
  • should be empowered to raise safety concerns and to know they are taken seriously
  • should be provided with safety information
  • should be encouraged to take part in making their building safe

If you or any family member would have difficulties in evacuating in the event of a major incident such as a fire, contact the High Rise Team for advice on

Cambridge Street Block 2 - Bin Chute Rooms

Over recent weeks we have had a series of bin fires. These fires have been small, and all safe systems of work in place, have been successful with the fires being dealt with quickly and effectively.

These fires are a serious Health and Safety risk to all residents residing within the block and as such the decision has been made to lock all bin chute rooms between the hours of 8pm until 8 am. 

Locks will be installed within the next few days.

We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause, but your health and safety is our priority.

If anyone has any information on this issue, please do not hesitate to contact us. This can be done anonymously by calling 01482 616 108.
